Associate Professor HOLMES. Problems in experimental study of evolution. Experimental zoology. The work done during the past few years on the marine invertebrate fauna of the Pacific Coast has served to reveal more and more clearly the richness of the opportunities, in many respects unique, here afforded for making important contributions to zoological science. The museum collections are all accessible to students pursuing advanced studies, and are particularly valuable to those pursuing investigation in marine zoology. The California Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, the gift of Miss A. M. Alexander, affords exceptional opportunities for investigation in the field of systematic vertebrate zoology and geographical distribution. The results of studies carried sufficiently far to make them distinctly contributions to the science may be published in the University of California Publications in Zoology (volumes 12 to 16, in progress). The San Diego Marine Biological Station, now incorporated in the Scripps Institution for Biological Research located at La Jolla, is equipped with new buildings containing laboratories, aquaria, apparatus, and a working library, and with a sea-going vessel, the "Alexander Agassiz.'' The station is open throughout the year and work carried on in its laboratories under the direction of members of the staff by registered students receives University credit. Residence at the station may be counted as residence at the University. |
